The cost implications of using different S3 storage classes vary based on several factors such as storage duration, retrieval frequency, and data transfer:
- S3 Standard: Higher cost for storage, lower cost for frequent access.
- S3 Intelligent-Tiering: Charges for monitoring and automation, with tiering costs based on access patterns.
- S3 Standard-IA and S3 One Zone-IA: Lower storage costs, higher retrieval and data transfer costs.
- S3 Glacier and S3 Glacier Deep Archive: Very low storage costs, but higher costs and longer times for data retrieval.
- S3 Outposts: Costs depend on the configuration of the Outposts device and data transfer to/from AWS regions.
